Learn To Be Smart
Your academic concierge.
For everything that you need.
Founded in 2013, Academia represents the highest evolution of the concept of education with a humanities-oriented philosophy. In a world where the financial, professional, managerial and entrepreneurial class constitute the highest level of human achievement, we bring the knowledge, skills and performance to get your child to that destination.
English, Literature, General Paper and Economics are woven together to form an unabashedly intellectual fabric of knowledge. Blending elements from the Singaporean education system with strategies re-engineered from top higher educational institutions and liberal arts colleges, our programme adapts and grows with your child’s needs. The end goal is to create empowered, smart and confident individuals who can navigate and dominate their future careers.
Our programmes are built upon weekly tutorials, and yet the educational relationship that is seeded when our clients join Academia grows far deeper roots than that. We differentiate between students at a fine-grained level, with portfolios and internal data tracked to ensure that our clients’ students are well-supported. Our clients also receive access to the best expertise when required. Scaffolding is done at an individual level of tailoring and you can rest assured that our clients enjoy unparalleled access to our expertise at every stage.
Technology is a tool that does not replace human interaction but rather enhances it. Our technological solutions and interfaces have been chosen for their ease of onboarding, turning learning into a seamless 360 experience for both educator and student.

A Quintessential Philosophy
Unabashedly Intellectual
Imagine a constantly evolving enrichment centre with a focus on higher-order skills, sophisticated writing and deep analysis. We’re unabashedly intellectual and we make no bones about it – and we want your child to be smart, too. We work with and train teachers whose lives revolve around education, the kind of people who discuss educational pedagogy and learning strategies in their free time.
360° Learning Experience
Our 360° learning experience balances time-tested learning strategies with contemporary culture and technology. For our students, learning to be smart is a complete lifestyle that extends beyond the classroom. We lead by example, demonstrating and training real skills that help our students flourish as 21st century global citizens, knowledge specialists and content wizards.
Liberal Arts Exposure
Intellectual, social and cultural capital that enables your child to transition seamlessly through advanced capitalist societies anywhere in the world. So they, too, can aspire to world-class organisations (or build one of their own). With both eyes on the inexorable trend of computer automation, we empower our students to be thinkers and creators, not rote-learners and followers.
Personal Branding
Be an opinion leader and trendsetter – create and sustain a meticulously crafted self-image, from public speaking to personal optics. All increasingly relevant in a multi-pronged, intrinsically complex world.
Data-Driven Analysis
We use qualitative data analysis to understand and evaluate our students’ strengths and weaknesses through their work, as well as make predictions about educational trends. The result is a targeted and adaptive curriculum that responds to our students’ needs.

Tutorials - Class Schedules
Besides equipping students with the necessary content knowledge and academic skills in anticipation of their examination performance, our programme has been carefully crafted to bring English, Literature, General Paper and Economics to life.
Academia Premium offers weekly tutorials for Primary, Secondary and Junior College students taking General Paper.
Our Primary programme is perfectly designed to give you the ultimate advantage for the PSLE, with the experience of Mr Sherman Tseng, a former MOE Vice-Principal and HOD English pushing forward. Gifted students will benefit greatly from the insights of our founder, who has designed our gifted materials and trained specialist gifted teachers to handle gifted kids sensitively and understand their unique perspectives and needs.
We have developed sophisticated and specific learning journeys for Secondary students in the Integrated Programme, International Baccalaureate and the ‘O’ level track. Our classes will provide you with relevant contextual knowledge and skills – to develop your expertise in an academic setting and beyond.
For Literature students, we have developed a one-of-a-kind Literature programme that provides tailored help for your school specifics. Let us first state that Literature can be powerful, moving and potent. Our Secondary-level students have the option of customising their learning experience to include Literature consultations and tutorials. Led by those deeply embedded in the local literature scene, you will be guided on how to approach Literature with sensitivity and critical theory. Please contact us two weeks in advance in order to ensure that the tutorial is tailored to your needs.
For Junior College students, our General Paper course is designed to offer coached guidance towards securing that A grade. Past students have gone on to top programmes such as studying Law, Medicine and PPE at top local varsities as well as Cambridge, Oxford and prestigious US university brands. As part of our programme, Dr Coomber will also provide you with assistance with university and scholarship applications, as well as the UCAS process. A team led by Mr Johann Loh, who graduated magma cum laude from Princeton, will also be able to assist you with your applications to the US and the Ivy League.
In partnership with the Adam Smith Centre, Academia offers a one-of-a-kind Economics programme which not only prepares students for the A levels but also helps you begin your journey towards becoming a business leader, with global partnerships ranging from prominent academics and business leaders in Singapore to resources such as the Marginal Revolution University. Mr Bryan Cheang is a leading millennial economist who has been featured on Channel News Asia and has published a book on the free market and how its values can address the concerns of the younger generation. He has helped students apply for Business and Economics scholarships and get into the university programme of their choice.
